You want a 36W compact fluorescent.  They are 16.5 inches long, and not
much bigger than a single T12 lamp.  The GE number (from memory) is
F39BX/SPX50, but they are hard to find.  Check out AHSupply.com.  They
have it as a kit, including a socket, an electronic ballast, and a
reflector.

Best regards,
